Europia (Europe + Asia ?)

When we first moved to Doha we planned to travel all around Asia.  I mean hello, we technically live in the continent.  Both Europe and Asia vacation destinations are just a six hour flight from Qatar, but we could visit Europe if we lived in the States.  We would never have visited Asia from the U.S.  Asia is half way around the globe from the States.  That means at least a 16 hour plane flight.  Trust me; you need a good reason to sit in the same uncomfortable chair for 16 hours.  Now is our opportunity to travel around Asia! 

We have had lots of good trips to Asia.  We just haven’t fallen in love with Asia like we adore Europe.  Everything in Asia is the right price and the people are extremely friendly.  We try to love Asia, but we just keep dreaming about Europe.  So why are we Europe people and not Asia people?

Our favorite mode of transportation are our own two feet.  We love racking up steps on our pedometers during vacation (I know, so cool.).  We fit the American stereotype and wear tennis shoes everywhere when traveling.  Europe is designed for walking.  In Asia it is impressive to find a sidewalk.   

Well, Asia has beautiful beaches but we just aren't beach people.  We get antsy after an hour lying on the beach.  We are adventure seekers and love to explore.

So, we are trying a comprise.  We are off to Turkey which you can argue is in Asia or Europe.  We are very excited to report back soon.
